VA hosting COVID-19 vaccination clinic for veterans

The first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine being administered on Feb. 3 to a Butler County resident.

VA Butler Healthcare Health Care is holding a walk-in COVID-19 vaccination clinic for veterans Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. or until the supply of vaccine lasts at the campus at 325 New Castle Road in Butler Township. No appointment is necessary.

VA Butler Healthcare is providing the Moderna vaccine, which requires two doses given about 28 days apart at the same location. To be eligible for the vaccine, veterans must be age 65 or older, eligible for and enrolled in VA health care, receive health care at a VA Butler Healthcare facility (including outpatient clinics) and not have had any vaccinations in the past 14 days.

Veterans are advised not to bring anyone into the building, unless assistance with mobility or other health issues is required. COVID-19 safety precautions are in effect requiring face coverings and physical distancing. Veterans not enrolled in VA health can go online for more information and apply online at www.va.gov/health-care/how-to-apply or call VA Butler Healthcare at 878-271-6645.

Veterans who meet all of the criteria but cannot make it to the clinic should call the call center at 878-271-6753.
